The End Game
Once data is released, there's no getting it back.  Unless something changes, more and more data will be released.  As analytics advances, much more data will be made knowable through inference (having "yellow" and "blue" allows you to infer "green" with great confidence).  We need to focus on how to make private data useless to thieves.  If someone who is not me cannot use my data to impersonate me, then I don't really care that it's out there.  Medical data and other types of personal information is on a different level.  It can be used to extort people who might be vulnerable to such criminal methods.  Part of our problem is that it's still too easy to impersonate someone else with a little bit of their data.  That's the core problem we really aren't addressing.  At some point, we run out of fingers to put in the dike.

Dispicable and probably criminal
Equifax is dispicable to include an arbitration clause in the sign-up acknowledgement as a prerequisite in front of the free credit monitoring offering.  That consent waives a consumers right to class action.

The EFX stock sales by company officers following the breach (some $1.8M) should be investgated by the SEC, too.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
